Objective To explore the psychological experiences of operating room nurses participating in organ transplant surgeries, providing a basis for medical institutions to develop targeted psychological support programs. Methods Using a phenomenological research method, semi-structured, in-depth, face-to-face interviews were conducted from January to March 2026 with 17 operating room nurses who had participated in organ transplant surgeries at a tertiary hospital in Shanghai. Interviews were recorded, and observations were made. The interview data were analyzed, summarized, and themes were refined using Colaizzi’s seven-step analysis method. Results The psychological experiences of operating room nurses participating in organ transplant surgeries were identified as 5 main themes and 14 sub-themes: emotional impact and empathy load (shock and grief confronting life and death, deep empathy for patients and families, awe and gratitude towards organ donors); pressure experience and physical-mental exhaustion (urgency under time pressure, load of operational precision requirements, excessive consumption of physical and mental resources); cognitive appraisal and meaning construction (reappraisal of professional value, deep reflection on the meaning of life, positioning and identification of one’s role); coping strategies and adjustment process (active learning and experiential reflection, self-emotional regulation and social support); growth experience and psychological transformation (enhancement of psychological resilience, establishment of professional confidence, deepening of professional mission). Conclusions Operating room nurses undergo complex and profound psychological experiences while participating in organ transplant surgeries, enduring strong emotional impact and physical-mental stress while also achieving psychological growth and deepening professional identity through practice. Nursing managers should pay attention to the mental health of this group and construct a multi-level support system to promote their physical and psychological well-being.

Background The health effects of environmental exposures are often characterized by complex interactions. However, evidence on the joint health effects of ambient oxidizing pollutants and air temperature in the cold regions of Northern China remains limited. Objective To examine the independent and interactive effects of atmospheric oxidizing pollutants and air temperature on daily mortality among residents of Hohhot. Methods Daily data on air quality, meteorological factors, and cause-specific mortality in Hohhot from 2018 to2023 were collected. A quasi-Poisson generalized additive model (GAM) combined with a distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) was used to examine the effects of ambient oxidant pollutants [ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and total oxidant (Oₓ)] and air temperature on daily circulatory and respiratory mortality. Potential interactions between oxidizing pollutants and temperature were evaluated using bivariate exposure–response surface models and quantified through stratified analyses. Results For each 10 μg·m−3 increase in O3, OX, and NO2 concentrations, the strongest associations with circulatory disease mortality occurred at lag1, with excess risks (ERs) of 1.10% (95%CI: 0.50%, 1.71%), 1.84% (95%CI: 0.94%, 2.75%), and 1.49% (95%CI: 0.36%, 2.62%), respectively. The strongest associations of O3 and OX with respiratory disease mortality were observed at lag2, with ERs of 1.61% (95%CI: 0.61%, 2.62%) and 2.61% (95%CI: 1.61%, 3.62%), respectively. NO2 showed the strongest cumulative association with respiratory disease mortality at lag02, with an ER of 3.22% (95%CI: 1.24%, 5.25%). High temperature exhibited immediate or short-term effects, while low temperature showed lagged effects. The exposure–response relationships between temperature and mortality risks for respiratory circulatory diseases were U-shaped. Positive additive interactions were observed between high temperature and high concentrations of O3 and OX. For the joint exposure to high temperature and high O3, the relative excess risks due to interaction (RERIs) for circulatory and respiratory disease mortality were 0.131 (95%CI: 0.086, 0.176) and 0.279 (95%CI: 0.198, 0.360), respectively. For the joint exposure to high temperature and high OX, the corresponding RERI values were 0.080 (95%CI: 0.038, 0.123) and 0.154 (95%CI: 0.074, 0.234), respectively. In contrast, high temperature and high NO2 concentration exhibited antagonistic or attenuating interactions. Conclusion Ambient oxidizing pollutants, high temperature, and low temperature are independently associated with increased circulatory and respiratory disease mortality. High temperature combined with high concentrations of O3 or OX exerts positive additive interactions, with the respiratory system showing particular vulnerability. The mortality risks associated with NO2 are more pronounced under low temperature conditions, whereas its interaction with high temperature appear antagonistic, suggesting a temperature-dependent risk-modifying effect.
3.Recognizing hepatic manifestations in rheumatic diseases
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2025;41(5):801-805
The liver is one of the organs most commonly affected by rheumatic diseases. Hepatic abnormalities in patients with rheumatic diseases can result from a variety of factors, including direct liver involvement by the disease itself, coexistence with primary liver disease, and drug-induced liver injury. When liver indicators are abnormal, a thorough differential diagnosis is required. For unexplained liver dysfunction, routine testing for autoantibodies should be performed to facilitate early identification of underlying autoimmune liver disease. If the etiology remains unclear, a liver biopsy is recommended for a final diagnosis if feasible. Alongside active management of rheumatic diseases, it is necessary to closely monitor liver function, avoid the use of agents that may exacerbate hepatic damage, particularly anti-rheumatic drugs with strong hepatotoxicity, and tailor treatment strategies according to personal specific conditions, so as to minimize liver damage and improve long-term outcome.
